Abstract

The research explores the convergence of two pivotal trends in architecture: environmental and technological trends. The eco-trend focuses on the environmental impact of architectural practices, while the tech-trend emphasizes leveraging technology to enhance a building's performance. The thesis posits that integrating these trends holds the potential to create more sustainable structures, characterized by reduced environmental impacts and enhanced resource efficiency. The study reviews environmental systems that achieve sustainability and focuses on one system that is applied to hotel buildings. The study also analyzes different forms of intelligence within environmentally friendly architecture, including smart materials, response to environmental changes, smart systems for automated building management, and smart interfaces that facilitate interaction. User intuitive. The study proposes a range of key applications for environmental technology within hotel buildings, including energy-efficient lighting and heating systems, water-conserving fixtures, and innovative waste management systems. The results obtained from the study reveal that the fusion of environmental and technological considerations significantly increases the development of sustainable hotel facilities. These facilities not only enhance environmental responsibility, but also enhance operational efficiency, which contributes to increasing diversified sources of national income.
